Hi! My name is Zhalae and I am an undergraduate student at Cornell University set to graduate May 2026, pursuing a degree in Computer and Information Science in the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science with a focus on Interactive Technology, Data Science, and UX Design.

​

I am a Developer and Designer, especially focusing on Data Science, Virtual Reality, Full stack Web Development & Design, and Machine Learning.

Currently, I am a Research Assistant in both the Design + Augmented Intelligence Lab as well as the Virtual Embodiment Lab at Cornell. Alongside that, I am also a Teaching Assistant for the Interactive Web Application Design & Development course.

​

 I am actively seeking internship, research, and co-op opportunities to enhance my skills and gain further experience in Computer and Information Science. My research interests span Computational Social Science, data Science, Augmented/Virtual Reality, Health Analytics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Data Visualization.
